Abstract

This study deals with modelling of the human lung structure corresponding to its anatomical structure. An electro-acoustical analogy was used to model the respiratory system. The whole model is computed numerically for a vector of different frequencies, which are used in the clinical practice for artificial lung ventilation (Conventional Ventilation, CV and Hgh-Frequency Ventilation, HFV, HFOV).
